I'm assuming this counts as pitbull news, if it doesn't - please forgive the post! Just wanted to let you know about a documentary that we are really proud of. It premieres next Sunday (August 24th) at 10PM on Animal Planet - of course .

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show once it airs and also on the site.

I took the quiz and have to say that the treadmill question was great!

I am interested to see whether the opinions of PETA are going to be part of the episode, because, well, Ingrid Newkirk is not a friend of the pit bull and they took full advantage of the publicity that came with the case.

BTW...my mom was very proud of herself...she only got one wrong (the first War dog). She's hoping to watch the show, if her dogs will let her (she can only watch AP because they bark at the dogs on screen)...and yes, she knows it's a training problem...

"I don't have any idea if my dogs respect me or not, but they're greedy and I have their stuff." -- Patty Ruzzo

"Dogs don't want to control people. They want to control their own lives." --John Bradshaw

On the BadRap site an interesting question was raised that perhaps AnimalPlanet can answer here.

Is the HSUS, PETA, or any other animal rights organization financially tied to the Animal Planet channel?

I'm interested in the show itself, as I have long argued that former fighting dogs are quite capable of leading normal lives after being seized. I'm also the first one to pipe up when someone repeats an incorrect piece of information about our dogs (the old "they have to be forced to fight," for example).
